yes he could be about to shed again. My daughters lizard at 6 months seems to shed every 2 1/2-3 weeks--he is in the middle of a leg shed--or at least half a leg. He had a rough shed with his belly and back but nothing a bath with a SOFT bristle toothbrush didnt help

Ah ok thanks, they must shed quite often when they are young because they grow so fast

My beardie is almost about 2 years old.. I've had him since late december and he JUST started a shed. Is something wrong? He hasn't shed between December and now.. I fear there's something wrong..

I have one guy that has been in constant shed since I got him in January. Some part of him has been in shed mode - not all of him. That being said, he has also grown about 7 inches since then so it's understandable!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
